(Wayne, New Jersey) – The New Jersey Department of Education recognizes the outstanding contributions of educators in a variety of ways. One program is the Governor’s Educator of the Year (GEOY) Program, which recognizes the hard work of outstanding teachers and educational services professionals.

Dear Parents and Guardians: Although Governor Murphy recently declared that changes to the standardized testing program are coming in the future, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) remains the standardized test in New Jersey for grades 3 through 11. The school year is moving along very quickly and we are once again, on the eve of PARCC testing here in the Wayne Township Public Schools. I have some important information that I would like to share with you including the schedule for the PARCC.
